Benign thyroid neoplasms
According to the World Health Organization
data, the diseases of thyroid gland are registered in 10-15 % of the World population.

most unfavorable. Most of these diseases are associated with the iodine deficiency.
The most obvious manifestation of the iodine deficiency is endemic goiter. It is a
predisposing factor for development of many thyroid diseases, including nodules and
cancer. In our Center the new method of laser interstitial thermotherapy of thyroid
nodal lesions under the ultrasonic control is developed.

Malignant tumours
Cancer affects about 8 million people in the world annually, and over 5 million
die from this illness. Photodynamic therapy gradually became one of the basic methods
of cancer treatment, along with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery.
The method is based on property of tumor tissues to accumulate certain light-absorbing
drugs (photosensitizers) in greater degree, than surrounding healthy tissues.
Photosensitizers cause photoreactions in biological tissues irradiated with light of a
certain wavelength.
